WRC 2024: ORLEN 80th Rally Poland

The 2024 World Rally Championship continues with the ORLEN 80th Rally Poland, wrapping up the month of June with intense rally action.

Long before the start, Kalle Rovanperä was in charge of taking over Sébastien Ogier following his accident during Tuesday's reconnaissance, leaving him and his co-driver Jonne Halttunen with less than 48 hours to ready themselves.

As Ott Tanak drew first blood in the opener, Andreas Mikkelsen surged his way to the top during the Friday stages until Kalle Rovanperä burst through the top during the Saturday stages and continued to dominate until the final day.

Despite having little practice moments after replacing the injured Sébastien Ogier before the race weekend, Kalle Rovanperä is the winner of the ORLEN 80th Rally Poland. He is 28.3 seconds faster than his fellow Toyota GR Yaris driver Elfyin Evans. Ford driver Adrien Fourmaux completes the podium with a third-place finish. 

The 2024 World Rally Championship season continues for the first-ever Tet Rally Latvia, which is based in Liepāja from 18 - 21 July.
